Freedom and Enslavement Wall

At the entrance to the International Slavery Museum is the Freedom and Enslavement Wall.

Television screens set into the wall show interviews with a range of people discussing their ideas of freedom and enslavement, from community historians to politicians, schoolchildren, and even people who have themselves been enslaved.

Together they provide a powerful, thought provoking introduction to the themes of the museum.
